Title: Itchy.eth Attempted Phishing Post by: chadlums on March 26, 2023, 02:52:57 AM What happened:
User created a self-moderated thread that was disguised as a request for assistance regarding a $225,000 withdrawal. However the true intent of the post was to deceive people into visiting a phishing site. Scammers Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3543438 (Uncertain whether or not they actually possesses ownership of the ENS.) Reference Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5446230.msg61971712#msg61971712 Additional Notes: Found the actual domain by searching the brand on Twitter. Couldn't find a $225,000 DEGA swap on the blockchain and contacted the team this morning, turns out the site he said he was withdrawing from is a phishing site. If anyone connected their wallet, revoke permissions. Mackey — Today at 8:11 PM Hello there sir. Definetely, it's not one of our domains. I informed our HQ, they'll take close look at it tomorrow, but one thing for sure, coingames.ca is not us.

The site is already shutdown as well, i don't know if the original team of coingames reported it to its registrar for fraud/phishing/scam or the scammer himself shuts it down.

However, the true intent of the post was to deceive people into visiting a phishing site. It is a mistake that a large group of people makes when they connect their primary wallet. The best thing is if they want to try, they should not forget always to create a new wallet that does not contain any funds. The scammers want to attract and lure victims with vast amounts of money, as this scammer did, who cannot withdraw 225 thousand dollars and puts his phishing link as a popular swap or exchange platform. When the victim helps in the hope that he takes a percentage of the withdrawn money, he opens the link of the phishing site and connects his main wallet; Then, if he does not disconnect the connected sites or revoke his wallet address, his entire funds will be in the hands of this scammer. |
